Remember that terrible OSHA whistleblower group I had to go through who just obstructed me & intimidated me to withdraw my charges?
They also oversee aircraft safety whistleblower cases: in 2023 they got 66 charges & axed 55 of them (83%).

How many charges were against Boeing?

I wasn’t aware of the this topic at all. The idea that whistleblower complaints are routinely denied had not occurred to me.
The power of wealth continues to surprise me. How naïve.
@JoeStewart I went through a similar mental process. First surprise / shock, then moral injury, then finally feeling like I was naive for ever thinking the businesses who run the US would ever allow an agency to protect whistleblowers in the first place.

Darrell Whitman was an investigator for the U.S. Labor Department for only a few months in 2010 when complaints crossed his desk from two former Wells Fargo & Co. tellers. They claimed they’d been fired after complaining that the only way to meet bank quotas was to open unauthorized accounts.
@ashleygjovik @JoeStewart Remember, the politicians who do the insider trading are aligned with the businesses who want to thwart regulations for impunity.
